Multiplayer bots -already discussed? (and other online woes)

I don't understand why they didn't allow for bots to make up the missing player spots on arcade mode (when online or LAN).

It's zero different than offline arcade mode, except that a robber can be replaced by a human player.

This would have solved the 'minimum of 4' issue and yet still retained the spirit and purpose of Alliance, C&R, etc.


Maybe I'm really late on this, but I only reinstalled KL2 recently(having played SP months ago) because someone said they wanted to LAN. We came up one person short and it just seemed absurd that we couldn't play because they wouldn't allow the use of the bots.

Furthering that, I never could figure out why you couldn't LAN the story mode either. Why the arcade modes but not campaign?


I had hoped a patch or DLC would amend this; instead we just got some more maps we can't play ;/


I wish it was possible to submit feedback directly to developers like in the old days. The above seems like something easily deployable, if they knew people wanted it.

There is a handful of old timers playing on 360. Some are true scum of the earth, but you gotta make money somehow. I am surprised no one plays it on PC. I wish the game would let you play co-op arcade. That way I can play with my cousin without waiting a few years for at least two more players to join.
